Liverpool Unites continues its search for runners to take part in the Santa Dash around Liverpool city centre on Sunday, December 4.

You can help the ECHO’s charity reach its fundraising target of £500,000 for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.

Thousands of people are expected to take to the streets as Liverpool turns into a sea of red with everyone wearing Santa suits.

Last year 7,500 Santas pounded the pavements to make the Liverpool Santa Dash the biggest one yet. It was also the biggest festive fun run in the UK, winning the World Santa Challenge title and beating the Las Vegas event by a massive 2,000 entries.
